I like to get out of the tourist places when I travel so I decided to hire a taxi to go into the city of Ochorios, against the advice of almost everybody. I've been in plenty of sticky situations and this one made me feel the most uneasy out of my vacations. There were men in fatigues holding AK-47 standing on almost every street corner and my taxi driver was bumping people as they crossed the road. But I found a cool pair of shorts, so it was all good.
